VISIBILITY/WIPER
At higher speeds, 60+ MPH, the drivers side mirror will vibrate causing visibility issues, as the image is not stable. This is cause for concern when traveling at high speeds and using the mirror to check surroundings for lane changes.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
At around 3,500 miles, I noticed that the driver's side mirror would vibrate at highway speeds. I took the car to the dealership today, but they were unable to reproduce the issue. They explained that they couldn't drive the vehicle on the highway due to safety concerns. Additionally, the vehicle hasn't been inspected by anyone other than the dealership, and there were no warning messages on the dashboard. At times, the mirror vibrates severely, making objects in the mirror appear blurry, which could pose a potential hazard.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
When I was driving, suddenly the check engine light came on and within minutes several alerts popped up " Power System Problem, Do not Drive" and "Emissions System Problem. Power may be reduced. See your Dealer". It also asked to stop at a safe place. I stopped in the parking lot. Restarting the car does not remove these messages. When I attempted to drive in the parking lot to move to another spot, it felt that the car's brakes are coming on and off, with bad smell. We stopped the car and called Honda Dealer, who asked us to tow the car. The car has only 490 miles! Prior to that the Car was unable to update the software and requested to call the Dealer. I did that and the Dealer gave a appointment for the weekend.

SEATS, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The 2024 Accord EX front passenger seat sits too low and has no height adjustment. Many adult front passengers are positioned extremely low to the floor with zero height adjustment. I believe the airbag may not effectively protect or even cause injury to these passengers as many can not see over the dash. This abnormal low position also causes leg discomfort and cramps during longer trips. I recommend that Honda provide a seat adjustment alteration or install optional seat-jacking spacers to restore passenger height to a safe and or normal position.

POWER TRAIN, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
On June 9, 2024, while I was driving on the highway, my new Accord flashed a series of warning messages on the right side of the driver information interface (instrument panel). The messages that flashed and scrolled through repeatedly are listed below: Electric parking brake system problem. Parking brake not available. See your dealer. Blind spot information system problem. See your dealer. Hill start assist problem. Vehicle may roll upon brake release. See your dealer. Transmission system problem. Performance may be reduced. See your dealer. Emission system problem. Power may be reduced. See your dealer. Additionally, near the fuel gauge a red BRAKE light flashed and an amber BRAKE SYSTEM stayed illuminated. This is upsetting because I've had my new Honda Accord just over one month and have fewer than 1500 miles on it. UPDATE: I took my new Honda Accord Touring to my dealer and they examined it and told me a solenoid needed replacement. They ordered the part which took several day and replaced it. The solenoid replacement did not fix the problem and the service manager said my car needed a new transmission (eCVT). I was shocked such a new car would require such a radical repair. After waiting two weeks, my transmission was replaced. However, I'm not confident in my car. I read on NHTSA that 2023 Accord Hybrid had a recall for eCVT transmission replacement. My Accord Hybrid Touring is a 2024 manufactured in 3/2024.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
I was driving on city roads when vehicle lost power going up a slight hill and I was forced to pull over to the side of the road. I received TDMS Failure first then multiple failures. Restarted and was able restart but received the following warnings: 1.Brake system failure, 2.Park brake failure, 3.Collision failure 4.Electric power steering failure, 5.TPMS failure, 6.Low speed braking failure, 7.road departure failure 8.Adaptive cruise control failure, 9.Hill start failure. Restarted again was able to drive the vehicle home but received the above warnings. Restarted again and received a brake system warning. After I got home, I restarted again and all the warnings cleared. This was a very serious error. If I was driving on the turnpike when power failed, my only recourse would be to try to pull over, if possible, stop the vehicle and restart. This would be a life-threatening situation. Checked tires front tires were 36# rear tires 33#. So, no tire issue to trigger the TDMS warning. The auto technician did some checks but did not see any codes. He also looked at the Honda forum for technicians and saw some of the same issues, but they didn’t provide a solution. I mentioned what I read in the Accord Forum about the Honda dealer this person went do couldn’t find codes but knew right away that it was the ICM ignition control module. The technician said someone drove it today and will drive it tomorrow. He will also call Honda Engineers in California for assistance. 6/11/2024 I was informed that the issue has been confirmed to be the ICM module, which is out of stock now. 6/27/24 I received a call from dealer service advisor that the rental was approved by Honda, but also the part was received and the car will be ready when I pick it up. Car was out of commission due to parts availability issues for 18 days.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
On Thursday, [XXX], I was driving on the highway at around 35-40 mph when the car suddenly turned off. The dashboard screen went black, and I had no control of the steering wheel. Thankfully, I was able to control the brakes and traffic was slowing down but I still was suddenly in the middle lane of a highway without any control of the car. I tried to turn on the car several times and by the 5th or 6th time that I press the power button, it finally turned on and I was able to drive out of the highway. I decided to take the side streets to go home and I was able to make it home safe. I took the car to the dealership the next morning (Friday [XXX]). The car stayed at the dealership until this afternoon (Saturday [XXX]). However, they said that even though they found the failure codes in the computer log, they were not able to replicate the problem and therefore, nothing was done to the car. I did some research on my own and leaned that this is not an uncommon problem with this kind of vehicle. There are a few reports online from people that had a similar situation happened to them: [XXX] What component or system failed? ALL, THE CAR TURNED OFF ON ITSELF WHILE DRIVING Is the vehicle for inspection? YES How was my safety or the safety or other put at risk? I WAS AT RISK OF CRASHING OR BEING CRASHED ON AS I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE LANE OF A HIGHWAY Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed? THE DEALER FOUND THE FAILURE CODES ON THE COMPUTER BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO REPRODUCE Has the vehicle been inspected? YES, BY A HONDA DEALER Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms prior to the failure? NO. THE CAR JUST SUDDENLY STOPPED WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE DASHBOARD SCREEN WENT BLACK. ERROR MESSAGES APPEARED AFTER WHEN TRYING TO TURN ON THE VEHICLE AGAIN INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING
While driving our 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid, the vehicle suddenly lost all power. Message on dash in big bold letters told me to BRAKE!!!!! even though there did not appear to be any reason to brake . When I tried to brake, I was not able to and the steering was difficult. I was able to pull over and finally stop. I was in a precarious spot and did not feel safe sitting in the car since I was just over the crest of a bridge endangering not only myself but potentially other drivers coming over the crest . Numerous messages on the dash related to steering and braking issues . Examples : Brake system problem Electric power steering problem Reduced traction and handling Brake hold system problem Electric parking brake system problem , parking brake not available

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Bought a brand new Honda 2024 at a dealership, since picking up the car we noticed it was black and white and not clear, assumed it was a setting issue so paperwork was completed and we took the car home. It was a safety issue as having it black and white and reversing it was hard to see and several close calls on collition when backing up due to camera malfunction. Issue persisted, notified dealership and appointment was made to replace camera. Issue was confirmed by dealership and camera replaced. About to exit the dealership, put car on reverse and issue persisted.

SEATS
After we purchased our Accord Hybrid Touring car last month in Marysville, OH, we could NOT believe that the passenger seat did not have a vertical adjustment!! My wife sits here most of the time when we use the vehicle, she is [XXX] and CANNOT see out over the dashboard in the seat. If the air bag ever deploys here, it will hit her in the head, which could cause her a severe injury!! She has tried sitting on big cushion, but it is very uncomfortable and will not use it most of the time in the vehicle. We would not have purchased the vehicle, IF we had known this inability of the passenger seat! We have found out by looking online that many other people have had this same problem w/o any real resolution to this issue. We want to inform Honda Corporate that if it cannot resolve this problem and we have issue with air bag in the future, we will be taking legal actions to obtain a remedy!!

SERVICE BRAKES
While driving down a paved road that has multiple bumps at due to cracking and buckling at 40 MPH, the car dashboard had multiple indicator lights turn on with audible warnings. One of the most visible was an alert that indicated there was a problem with the electronic breaking system. I came to a stop light, and brought the vehicle to a stop, all indicator lights remained on. When the light turned green, the car would not move and was disabled. I turned on my flashers as I was stuck in the middle of the road. I turned the car off and back on. The errors did not clear. I turned the car off again and it indicated I needed to put the car in Park. Once I did this and turned on the car, it rebooted and all errors were cleared. Dealership was able to find the following errors logged: U0100-00, u0100-f1, u0101-00, u0122-00, u0122-f1, u0129-00, u0131-00, u0131-f1, u0151-00, and u0416-68. Dealership said this was due to an "intermittent multi purpose camera failure". They said that if this issue occurs again, they would replace the camera. My concern is, this issue disabled my vehicle and didn't allow me to move the car after it had come to a stop. This can cause a serious safety issue if stopped in the middle of the road like what happened to me. If this is a wider or known-issue it should be dealt with rather than waiting for the failure to happen again.

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING
On [XXX] at [XXX] with my wife in the my new Honda Accord. I was traveling between 30 and 40 MPH with nothing in front of me the AEB activated bringing the car to a complete stop. Nothing lit up on the dashboard at the time of activation. Since this car is brand new and only has 550 miles on it I am very concerned for my safety. If there was a car in back of me it would have caused a rear end collision. I took this vehicle immediately to Crown Honda in Saint Petersburg Florida to be assessed.
